called more than once

-Package: cURL related

New Comment:
Some more test results:
Windows 7 Pro x64, Apache 2.2.15, PHP 5.3.2 - not working.
CentOS (don't know exact version number), Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.3.2 -
works correctly.
So this is probably Windows-only bug.

Description:
------------
Second and consecutive calls of file_get_contents('php://input') return
empty string if client issued an HTTP command other than 'GET' or 'POST'
(see example code). If 'GET' or 'POST' HTTP command was issued
file_get_contents('php://input') works correctly.
Not sure if this is cURL related bug, maybe some other PHP package is
responsible.
I am using Apache 2.2 and IE8.
Test script:
---------------
#bug_curl.php
$hcurl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($hcurl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://test/bug.php');
curl_setopt($hcurl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($hcurl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:
text/plain'));
curl_setopt($hcurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'some request text');
curl_setopt($hcurl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'DELETE');
//curl_setopt($hcurl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true); - this works ok
//curl_setopt($hcurl, CURLOPT_POST, true); - this works ok
$out = curl_exec($hcurl);
curl_close($hcurl);
echo '<pre>'.htmlspecialchars($out).'</pre>';
# bug.php
var_dump(file_get_contents('php://input'));
var_dump(file_get_contents('php://input')); // returns empty string if
HTTP command is not 'GET' or POST'
var_dump(apache_request_headers());
Expected result:
----------------
string(17) "some request text"
string(17) "some request text"
array(4) {
["Host"]=>
string(4) "test"
["Accept"]=>
string(3) "*/*"
["Content-Type"]=>
string(10) "text/plain"
["Content-Length"]=>
string(2) "17"
}
Actual result:
--------------
string(17) "some request text"
string(0) ""
array(4) {
["Host"]=>
string(4) "test"
["Accept"]=>
string(3) "*/*"
["Content-Type"]=>
string(10) "text/plain"
["Content-Length"]=>
string(2) "17"
}
